Since this is my first plans built, do I need to do anything for the wing incidence? I am building the tail next, then setting the wing blocks and stab in place, so would be good to know if there is anything I need to do before gluing everything together.

My Feedback: (43)

For all my Ziroli builds (including the 118" B-25), I've always followed the instructions and glued the wing and stab supports directly to the fuse crutch while on the flat table (upside down, of course) and they always flew great with maybe a few clicks for ailerons or elevator. I've never checked the incidence on Ziroli planes and they always seem to be perfect for me.
Of course, I always make sure, during the build, that that crutch remains perfectly flat, with lots of supports and weight to hold it in place while gluing on the stringers and sheeting. One usually checks for a warped fuse, 'side to side', but one needs to make sure it's straight, also vertically.

Thanks Sam. I'm fairly sure the fuse is straight, triple checked everything before gluing and while gluing. I sheeted the top half while it was still secured to the crutch supports. Since I left the top sheeting off the center section, I can align the wing to the fuse easier since I can use a square to verify it is true to the fuse using the spar.
